Chapter 178: Kobe's Invitation

Seeing that Kobe Bryant had a tendency to start a long speech, Ye Feng quickly took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to the head coach, telling him that he would not be able to meet with the team until later, and if he couldn't catch the plane, he would fly back by himself. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info McMillan already knew from Oden that Ye Feng was pulled away by Kobe, and a loss in this game means that the team's 2008-09 season is completely over, and it doesn't matter if the player is a little indulgent, so he happily agreed to Ye Feng.

After asking for leave for the team, Ye Feng sat upright, waiting for Kobe, the league's top star, to give him a lecture. Kobe Bryant couldn't help nodding secretly, this kid in front of him has no shortage of professional ethics or attitude to communicate with others, even if he can't become a superstar, he will be a very good player. But now is not the time for him to sigh, everyone Ye Feng is sitting so upright, he always has to take out some dry goods to share with him. Bryant took another sip of his drink, organized the language in his mind, and said slowly while recalling:

"In 1996, I entered the NBA and started playing for the Lakers, and on December 17 of that year, yes, I remember the time very well, it was the day when the Lakers played the Bulls away, and it was the first time in my career that I faced Michael directly. Playing against him was my ultimate challenge in the NBA, and I realized it before I was in the draft. But I felt like I was a joke that night, 5 points, 1 assist, that's my stats, and Michael chipped in 30 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists and dominated the game in his own way, and I was completely ignored by him. But it was also that game that Michael used his practical actions to show me how to become a master on the basketball court and what basketball is. ”

"The following season, I met him again at the All-Star Games. The fans were amazing, and I was second only to Gary in Western Conference guards, oh, my old teammate Payton, and you should know, your manager's former teammate, so I got the chance to start. At that time, even though I had been playing in the NBA for a year, I still wanted to compete with Michael, so when Carl pulled up to the high position to be with me, I didn't have a good attitude and yelled at him, 'Get out.' Speaking of this, Kobe Bryant himself smiled, but it was only for a moment, and soon the smile disappeared again, "Actually, I played well that time, scoring 18 points and 6 rebounds, the highest scoring in the West All-Star, but Michael took the MVP with 23 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists." ”

"Even though I said to Michael one time when I was training with Michael, I said to him, 'I can beat you one-on-one,' but in my heart I still respect him a lot. But for me, the best way to honor someone is to beat them down on the basketball court, and no matter how many times I've lost to Michael before, as long as I can beat him, all the previous suffering is not a problem. Unfortunately, I still lost in the end, Michael's second comeback was in poor form, and it was impossible to beat him, and I may never be as good as him, both in terms of personal glory and historical status. ”

"So what is the purpose of you talking to me about these things today?" Ye Feng asked in a low voice.

Bryant was silent for a while, as if he had come out of the heavy memory, he touched his smooth chin, and said solemnly: "The reason why I am telling you the story between me and Michael is so that you will no longer be entangled in this failure." You see, I was almost powerless in front of Michael, even though I was a rookie back then, he had played for thirteen seasons, and he won four championships and regular season MVP, such a huge gap I never paid attention to, and a loss is a loss. But what happens after losing? I continued to challenge him until the day he retired. ”

"When I saw you, I remembered myself when I was younger. You weren't as stubborn as I was, and you weren't as competitive as I was, but after I scored that goal, I saw your tears. Boy, it's not shameful to cry on the basketball court, it's people who will have joy and sadness, I know that my last shot destroyed you, but I have a reason why I have to win, so this can't be allowed, didn't Michael not let me back then, and just beat me in three or two strokes? That's the cruelty of professional basketball, and I know you Chinese are humble about humility, but this one won't work here. ”

"But I didn't let you, you don't want to be depressed, no, you can't be depressed, Kareem's eyes I still trust very much, he said that you are a future superstar, you must be. But if you're completely killed by me in one blow, it only proves that you're a coward and smashed Karim's brand, even if he only said it to me. Think about how I challenged Michael back then, and if I don't think I can make up for it, there are a lot of inquiring reports on the Internet that can make you see the relationship between me and Michael. ”

"Now I'm not talking to you as an opponent, I'm talking to you as a senior, and I ask you to forget about this defeat and play better next season. Just like I lost to Michael, there's no shame on you losing to me, I also want to see how high you can go, and if Karim's vision will plant a big heel in you. Boy, this is a hurdle for you, cross over, you will break out of the cocoon into a butterfly, you can't cross, your career will be like this, and you will survive a middle-class contract in the future. While it may be a little better for you to make it to the Western Conference Finals or even the Finals, it's not necessarily your chance now. Speaking of this, Kobe Bryant suddenly smiled slyly, "Hitting the championship is such a thing, let us be old first!" ”

Ye Feng smiled slightly and said, "It's an honor to listen to your teachings, but this is not the ultimate goal, right?" ”

Kobe Bryant's laughter stopped abruptly, he looked Ye Feng up and down, sighed and said, "I feel that what I said before was in vain, and I know that you have seen it by looking at your expression." Well, in that case, I won't hide it. I'm 30 years old this year, and I'm still in good shape, but who knows what the future holds? There are a lot of injuries to the inside players, and there are a lot of outside players, not to mention that I am now the target of the public, and I have to come up with some unique skills to ensure that the team wins, which invisibly increases the probability of my injury. ”

"So," he took a deep breath and said slowly, "are you interested in coming to the Lakers?" ”
